Five
$50,000+ Sales Give Moniker/SnapNames Top Spots on This Week's
Domain Sales Chart

After a quartet of six-figure saleslast
week none broke free of five-figure gravity this week
but there were more solid sales in that range than usual - almost
enough to fill two Top 20 charts. Moniker/SnapNames
led the charge, sweeping the first five spots on our latest all
extension leader board with a quintet fronted by QuoteBaby.com
at $89,965.

Rounding out their fab five were Edens.com
at $70,000, a pair of names at $60,000 each (eMedia.com
and Write.com) and FijiIslands.com at $58,830.
Moniker/SnapNames put three more names on the second half of the
elite list to finish with eight charted domains, more than any other
venue.

UpMarketDNs.com
also had a nice outing, placing four geodomains among the week's top
ten reported sales. Blackburn.com, Leicester.com, Ulster.com
and Wolverhampton.com went for $25,000 apiece there to
tie for #7 on our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart.

Sedo.com
took control on the second half of the Big Board, piling up five of
the final ten entries with a roster led by #11 Academi.com at
$24,208. Sedo also accounted for the only ccTLD on
this week's chart; #13 Done.co.uk at $23,000. The non
.com gTLDs were also limited to one chart entry, that being the
Moniker/SnapNames sale of #19 PolarBear.org at $17,825.

The only other venue with multiple chart entries was GoDaddyAuctions.
They hit the daily double with #6 2800.com at $30,000
and #16 InspiredGiving.com at $20,000. NameJet
also earned chart honors with #15 Sora.com at $21,300.

Here's how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday,
November 6:

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value sales that have been reported to us in the
past week. This column is meant to be an educational tool,
not a complete list documenting ALL high
value domain sales. Such a list is impossible to produce
because many sales are kept private at the insistence of
buyers, sellers or both. Our procedure for verifying the
accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

Forthe many newcomers entering the domain
industry we also want to point out that the reasons why a domain name sells for a certain price can be varied and are not always clear to those who are unfamiliar with the domain market.
If you do not understand why specific domain names command the
prices they do, you are likely to make unwise domain registrations or purchases.
We highly recommend that you do some basic research beforeyou buyanything! As a starting point we have
built a sister site specifically for you at NameNewbie.com.

There were 18 more five-figure sales off the
chart led by a pair of $17,500 sales. Trademark Unlimited sold
Bridge.co.za for that sum in a private transaction while Sedo
moved HappyShop.com for the same amount. Sedo had six more at
this level including NewCompany.com ($16,320), Etudiants.com
($15,640) and KPI.com ($15,075). Comparable.com
added $15,000, HCT.com tallied $13,000 and CBonds.com
earned $10,000. At the AfternicDLSStrapless.com attracted $16,000 while StarBright.com
brought $10,000.

GoDaddyAuctions piled up six more sales in this range
led by HealthQuest.org ($13,000),
AutomatedScoring.com ($12,000) and VacationFinder.com ($11,900).
They sold three others; AbleBank.com, iWellness.com and JoinUp.com
for $10,000 each. Elsewhere, Moniker/SnapNames banked $13,150
for NightOwl.com and NameJet notched $11,100 for Jiuzhuang.com.

Country Codes

Done.co.uk, theonly ccTLD to
make the all extension Top 20 chart you saw above, leads this week's
Country Code Top 20 Chart with that $23,000 sale we
told you about at Sedo. A nice South African ccTLD sale - Bridge.co.za
at $17,500 in a private transaction - claimed the #2 spot
with iDate.de rounding out the first three with an $8,160
sale at Sedo.

Sedo went on to sweep 19 of the 21 chart entries
(the extra spot resulted from a tie for the final position). Their
roster included #4 Stock.tv at $7,500 and a pair of
names that tied for #5; Elternwissen.de and Tweak.co.uk at
$5,440 each.

DomainLore.co.uk
helped break up the Sedo monopoly with their sale of #17 Injury-Lawyers.co.uk
at $3,341. .UK domains wound up taking five places on
the elite list - one less than Germany's popular .de extension.

Here is how the ccTLD leaders stacked
up for the week ending November 6:

There were several dozen additional
four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart with Sedo accounting for all
of those. They banked $2,992 for Shift.fr, $2,856 for
Restaurant-Pass.de and $2,720 each for Pingu.ch
and Regiodate.nl.

Sedo had 37 more four-figure ccTLD sales ranging form $1,020 to $2,448
that are listed in the table below:

Non .com gTLDs (.biz, .info, .mobi, .net, .org, .asia, .pro & .tel)

After a horrid week last week (with all
sales falling below $5,000), the non .com gTLDs bounced back
this week with a pair of five-figure sales that lead our new Top
20 Chart for this category. Those were PolarBear.org,
sold for $17,825 at Moniker/SnapNames, and HealthQuest.org
at $13,000 via GoDaddyAuctions.

The #3 slot went to Sedo for HotelReservation.net
at $9,500 and the AfternicDLS rounded out the first four with
Stonegate.net at $9,000. The AfternicDLS went on to
claim seven chart entries, more than any other venue.

The .nets won the race among extensions
claiming 12 places on the elite list with .orgs taking the
remaining eight. Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the
week ending November. 6:

As always, we welcome all verifiable sales reports from companies,
private sellers or individuals with knowledge of an important sale
made through any channel. To contribute information and help make
this column better, just drop a note to editor@dnjournal.com.

We truly appreciate the industry leading
companies who share their sales information
with us to help everyone in the business get a handle on current
domain values. Richard
Meyer of Domain Sales Center also provides invaluable help
in collecting data for these sales
reports each week.

Every Wednesday we publish the highest reported domain name
sales for the previous week. On Mondays and Tuesdays our contributors send us
their sales data for the previous 7 days. We then compile that
information and write this article to give
you the most comprehensive sales report in the industry.
